Cast

Production

After the 2016 film Pretham, Ranjith Sankar decided to collaborate again with Jayasurya. Sankar got the initial idea of a film while he was travelling on train to Thiruvananthapuram, it was announced to be a sequel to their 2013 film Punyalan Agarbattis. Sankar was pondering over the idea of making a sequel to the film since 2013, "I must have thought about over 10,000 stories for the sequel. Political satire need to have a strong subject. Then, the common trend where sequels rarely turn better than first part too was a hindrance. But, when I landed this story, I realised it is time to announce the project," says Sankar, who scripted it himself.[6][7] Sankar and Jayasurya launched the distribution company Punyalan Cinemas with this film. Sankar said, "the idea behind Punyalan Cinemas is to release our films and others films which we believe in. A humble step into the big ocean of cinema again".[8][9]

The film started filming on 1 August 2017.[10][11]
